You're about to embark on a Zoom breakout room adventure, but don't worry, I've got you covered. Enabling breakout rooms is a straightforward process that requires updating your Zoom account and navigating the In Meeting (Advanced) section. Pre-assigning participants to specific breakout rooms can save time and ensure everyone's engaged. Once you start your meeting, click on the Breakout Rooms option to create and manage your rooms. You can move, rename, delete, or re-assign participants as needed, and even broadcast messages to all rooms. To monitor progress, check the participant list and join specific breakout rooms if necessary. When it's time to close the sessions, simply click Close all rooms. While recording breakout sessions is technically challenging, you can grant other attendees recording privileges to work around this limitation. By planning ahead, diffusing discomfort, communicating expectations, preparing for technical issues, and automating your workflows, you'll be well on your way to hosting successful Zoom breakout rooms that leave everyone feeling engaged and productive.
